Jack

Jack, born around 2001, is a gorgeous Dark Bay Percheron who is a former New York City carriage horse. His life was suddenly placed in jeopardy when injuries he sustained over the years ended his ability to perform. We sent Jack to a hospital for a complete evaluation after his rescue in 2016. He was diagnosed with left hind lameness, evidence of an old bone fracture, osteoarthritis, and other changes in his feet and legs, in addition to thrush, mange, and white line disease. However, he is sound enough to spend his days outside in his pasture. Equine Advocates strongly opposes the urban carriage horse trade in big cities across the U.S. and around the world.

Jack is proudly sponsored in full by a supporter from Charlottesville, Virginia, who also generously sponsors Mark!
